FREAKS OF A MAGPIE.
1t was Fond OF Kobbing the Dogs aud
PeriOrming Endless Mischief

AS soon as it saw either of the dogs
busily engaged upon bone. Jackytiboy
devoted ali his intellect to the task Of
robbing that dog of its bone, says j. &.
Wood, writing of pet magpic in the
Youths Companion. Watching his op.
portunity white the dog attention was
given to the hone, he would quietly slip
Behind the animal and administer sharp
peck to its tail The aggricvcd dog would
naturally yclp, drop the bone, and mako
dash at its assailant
Then Jackytiboy would iluttcr away
few PAGES, and, when the dog turned
around to regain its property would give
another peek at the same place. Then
the dog made another attack, and when
the animal had, by series of assaults,
been decoycd to n distance. Jacytibov
flew to the bone. seized II and made oil
with its booty.
The dogs, however, sometimes turned
the tables on the magpic. Whenever
Jackytiboy had been given, or, rs was
most likely the case, had stolen more
meat than he could consume at the time,
he was in the habit of hiding it about the
premises. Here the dogs noses stood
them in good stead, enabling them to
snuff out and devour the hidden stores.
When he had succeeded in rob;%ng tho
dog of its bone, his next idea was to hide
it in some secure place where he was
sure that the dog could not find it, SO
he generally made his way INTO one of
the bedrooms and pushed the bone care
fully under the pillow.
GAS to the mischief which he did for
pure mschicf's sake, there were no
bounds to its extent and variety.
For example. while the coachman was
looking after his horse JackytibOy filed
the whip-tube with earth and little peb.
bles, so that when the man tried to uso
his whip he found it fixed so firmly that
it could not be taken out until the tube
had been taken out and emp.ied.
Watching the proceedings OF a carpen-
ter who was engaged on the premises
afforded him the kcencst qualification.
When the man used the center bit Jacky-
tiboy must needs help HIM by picking out
the little shavings from the hole. Having
thus proved his harmless nature, he
dropped some tacks into the mans ear as
he stopped over his work, and as he
started up, snatched off his spcctacles
and flew away with them to the treasure
house.
On one occasion he removed all the
pms from the cushions in which they had
been placed. He did not, however,
carry them of, but stuck them into
the sponges, pushing them into the
smallest holes, and forcing them com
pletely out OF sight. The disastrous re-
suit OF this freak may well be imagined.
If n glazier were employed on the
greenhouses it was necessary to capture
Jackytiboy and fasten him IN some place
where he would not suspect what was
being done, as otherwise he invariably
scoopcd out the putty while 1t was soft,
and SO made the GLACIERS work OF no
effect.
He always kept sharp eye upon small
candle ends, and whenever he found one
he used to drop 1t into the first mustard
pot that he could find.
